NABESHIMA WARE
by Yoshiaki Yabe
translated by Hiroko Nishida
The term Nabeshima ware is usually applied to the products of the Nabeshima fief kiln. The kiln was located in Okochi, 5 kilometres to the north of Arita in Kyushu, the southern island of Japan. Nabeshima ware was made for the Nabeshima family, the feudal lord of Hizen province, mainly for presentation to the ruling Shogun and feudal lords of the Edo period. The most appreciated pieces were enamelled dining utensils, especially dishes with an elegant curved surface and a large high foot. Since the sale of these ware was strictly prohibited, before the Meiji restoration(1868) Nabeshima ware was scarecely known in Japan. In the Meiji era Nabeshima ware was not appreciated by Japanese collectors, whose standard of beauty was based on the tradition of tea ceremony utensils. It was Captain Brinkley, an English man, who recognized of the value of Nabeshima ware and introduced it to the world of art for the first time.
Nabeshima ware gradually emerged from its position of obscurity and is now highly prized in Japan.
NABESHIMA FIEF AND ITS PORCELAIN INDUSTRY
The Nabeshima fief is also famous for another porcelain product called Imari ware (Vol. 23). It is generally said that the technique of making porcelain was introduced to Japan by the Korean potter Li-Sampei who found porcelain clay at Izumiyama in Arita and began to make blue-and-white porcelain at Kamishirakawa-Tengudani in 1616. Recently the date has been modified to around 1600 as a result of scientific excavation of the Tengudani kiln. The enamelling technique was successfully perfected by the potter Sakaida Kakiemon around 1646.
